Iʻve been feeding my addiction. Nope, not reading. Downloading free ebooks from various sources. From todayʻs batch, there are some from sony, some from the library, some from feedbooks, some from smashwords. Itʻs like I canʻt stop myself! If it looks interesting, I snap it up. And I have this thing- I must store them on my reader until Iʻve read them! Then, and only then, can I delete them from my reader. Right now I have 248 on there. I know, itʻs surely not as many as some have on their readers, but itʻs certainly more than I need to have on my reader at any given time. I just canʻt help it. I love books. Now if only I spent as much time actually reading them as I used to! Now Iʻm spending more time chasing down free books!

Hope you feel better sneakysnake!

Finishing my breakfast, but the bread was mostly holes, so I'm still hungry

Now I have to get dressed and go out in the rain to buy new shoes

Unfortunately not in Canada until late april. And I can see the Vermont Green Mountains from my house. I can't drive because of the leg but I'm a very patient man...

Weird. It's 4 AM there, according to the World Clock. I can't make out whether the store is open, but there are people moving and talking.

OMG! I was joking, but it's true!

I think this poemis appropriate:

The Ladder

By Michael Chitwood

He worked for years on the tablet,
deciphering the pictographs. He knew
it was a kind of language, those images.
An eye. A bird, maybe a crow.

A basket of wheat. A ladder.
Did the order of the images matter?
He cross-referenced similar texts.
He studied the history of the region

and satisfied many hours in the tablet’s service.
In a cousin language, a ladder
was the word for happiness, to rise up,
to be lifted above the ordinary.

After years of work, he sorted it out.
It was poetry, bad poetry, adolescent.
It read: “Today, I am happy,
happy all this day, today.

(from The Atlantic - Calibre Download)
